PART 3: VIII - A Long Time Coming (TBR)
Sunset squinted at the immense power radiating from Noah. She could feel it from where she stood, it was just like the Element's power combined, but concentrated and vehement.
The Rainbooms had set up on top of the hill overseeing the stage with the help of the girl with headphones, along with new outfits supplied by Rarity.
Noah had given them strict instructions, and they were going to follow it regardless. They just couldn't anticipate what he had in store.
"Sunset, ya mind explainin’ to us why Noah's eyes are literally on heavenly fire? I know the Sirens are bad guys but, Noah seems to have something else entirely planned out for them," Applejack questioned, running a hand through her hair as the heat from Noah's aura beat down on her.
"When the Sirens got here," Sunset began, watching Noah intently. "They were determined to get every trickle of negative energy they could, in any way they could. This led to many conflicts and other horrors in Noah's world transpiring in the first place. They would somehow work their way to powerful leaders or even simple people and persuade them to do drastic things, including that one clip we watched at the sleepover.
"Not only that, but this also included an attack that took everyone Noah ever loved. When we were in the hallway near the gym, watching the competition, the Sirens came around and revealed the truth.”
”Noah lost it. He destroyed his hand so badly he broke it along with a few of his fingers, that's the real reason why he had that cast. He fell unconscious from blood loss and I had to patch him up as the nurse wasn't there."
"Now he's staring down the most heartless monsters I think anyone's ever seen with daggers. Do you think he's just gonna mess 'em up a bit, destroy their pendants, and tell them to not do it again? No, he's got bigger plans in store.”
”When I left that room under the stage, I saw a fire in his eyes that looked and even felt similar to mine before the Fall Formal."
"But what about his power? It feels like ours, but more intense and dense," Twilight asked, confused. "Come on princess, surely you should've seen by now," Sunset began, smiling. "He's the Super Element."
"What... what in the world are you?" Aria asked, perplexed. Noah slowly scowled down at her, scowled at all of them. But he also grinned the largest grin he ever had in his life.
”Hot fuck. I've waited so fuckin' long for this. I've always had this stupid damn splinter in my side that there was something greater at work. Something like the devil on Earth, but only a portion of me thought it was plural."
"Just get to the point-"
"Shut it," Noah cut off, shutting Adagio up instantly. Not only that, but she could've sworn Noah had a heinous echo that sounded like a demon. The Sirens took a step back.
"There is nothing about you in any way that doesn't make me so utterly disgusted that I want to tear my own eyes out with a spork like an infant with special needs. I abhor you all so intensely that I can’t tell if my vision is blurry from my newfound capabilities, or for my unforgiving rage.”
“Once I touch the floor, and your fate is sealed, I will gut you with an honest-to-god smile on my face, and then proceed to paint the doghouse I built with your bodies with your very blood.”
”I will take everything that you ever were, and tear it out like a literal spinal cord in a horror movie, and then smash every goddamn organ within you, grind it in a factory from China, and feed it to my dog.”
”You will be distributed as so fuckin' torn to hell, that when the investigators find you, the belief that you were even negligibly human will be like the imagination of the stupidest motherfuckin' kid in the known universe."
Noah finally touched the footing, the floor below him glowed unnaturally. "In short, a long time coming has finally come, nigga."
"The Super Element?! Noah could not be any further than that then... then... I-I can't even compare him!" Rainbow replied, dumbfounded.
"Think about it," Sunset began again, "Noah is the only one here who stuck on a direct path, he planned so far ahead of us than we ever could've assumed. Even when the Sirens' cast their spells, Noah was completely immune to it. Just like you guys would be combined."
"Now that I think about it, the Super Element was most likely a secret weapon, that might explain why he isn't from Equestria at all, but he's somehow connected," Twilight added. "Sure Noah has a good heart 'n' all, but how could his heart be purer than ours?"
"He's unbreakable. He may be significantly different than us, but his heart is on a straighter path then all of you combined. Not once did he break away from the objective with something or was needlessly rude in establishing a goal. He talked Rarity out of wearing her dress, and he stopped all of the kids from messing with the song with his powers from his necklace. You guys are the Elements of Harmony, but you could only hold off the Sirens' spell united," Sunset answered.
"But that's... that's just staggering. To think he could be purer than us," Rarity replied as she crossed her arms. "But what about the Sirens? If he really is gonna do what Ah think he's goin’ to do, wouldn't that ruin his purity?" Applejack questioned.
"Perhaps it's an element of righteousness? And righteousness is about doing the right thing, that would include doing what must be done," Twilight answered. "He may be the only one capable of making the Sirens pay for their crimes against his world and Equestria because only he truly understands what they've done. We all know we'd never have it within us to kill off the Sirens."
"I guess that m-makes sense. B-But what about what he's about to do now?" Fluttershy asked, and Sunset replied. "I think we should just leave that alone, it isn't anywhere in comparison to what they've done, but it's as much as he can do."
"This is gonna get super bad, isn't it?" Pinkie predicted, concerned. "Oh yeah, we should probably turn around," Applejack suggested.
Noah glanced at the crowd, they were still under the Sirens' spell so they may not remember this. Good.
In a movement so fast that conceiving it was a joke, Noah rushed forward and plunged his fist so deep within Adagio's stomach, her mouth began watering, a sign of vomit.
Adagio screamed and slowly stepped back, Noah let her and she fell to her knees. "I'll be back for you," he whispered as he veered around to her sisters.
Aria and Sonata watched in horror as their sister puked blood from her mouth and cried. She couldn't even speak and she held her stomach with both arms as nearly a liter of blood poured from her mouth like cranberry juice. She wheezed, gagged, and hacked, "Y-You son o-of a b-bitch-" Is all she could think to say as she coughed up another half of a liter onto the stage floor.
"So, who's first? What about... Pigtails." Noah casually yet murderously approached Aria, but Aria slowly stepped back in terror.
Sonata tried to rush Noah, but he gripped her neck once she got into arm's reach. He uttered through his teeth, "Wait your turn." He slung Sonata into one of the speakers with only half of his strength, yet she crashed straight through it.
"Sonata!" Aria yelled, and Noah ostensibly teleported in front of her and seized her arm. "You know the first thing that I saw in that wreckage on TV? An old man's arm trying to lift a piece of rubble off of it. He failed and died within seconds as it crushed his arm, wholly.
Aria faltered as he could feel her pulse through her arm. "It's the right thing to give back to those who lost something, hm?" Aria froze.
Noah lifted his right foot and slammed into Aria's kneecap, pushing it the wrong direction disgustingly. She shouted at the top of her lungs and fell over. She began to cry as Noah stomped on her back, just barely leaving her back intact. He then yanked her arm and started to pull.
"No God, stop! Please! I'm sorry, don't do this!" Noah stomped again, "How many children do you think were gassed back in the second world war? How many died in general? Eighty-five million! But is was totally worth it for your stupid fuckin' negative energy, wasn't it?"
Aria whimpered and tried to release her arm from his grip with her other arm. Noah snatched it, which sent Aria into a frenzy. "No stop!! Please!! I'm begging you!!"
"Guess the fuck what, nigga?" he whispered and leaned close, and Aria fell silents. "No."
With unbelievable force, Noah tore Aria's right arm straight off. Her screams and cries for help pierced the ears of her Sisters like bullets as the blood within her arm overflowed both her lifeless arm and her shoulder.
"Oh good god above, that's a-lot of blood. Must suck to be you right now, huh Pigtails?" Aria had completely tuned Noah out as she paused in a state of absolute agony. She writhed and tried as hard as she could to get from under Noah's shoe.
"We're not done yet, by the way." Aria wept and sniveled as the blood around her began to take a toll on her consciousness. Noah lifted Aria off of the ground by her hair and forced her to stare in his eyes.
"Hurts, doesn't it? Can you imagine how horrible it'd be to get shot by a tank or a plane? No? Well, we can at least try." Noah eyed one of Earth's greatest monster's of the shadows and smirked. This is for my mom.
Noah took Aria's torn limb, made the hand into a fist, and began shoving it into her mouth. Before Noah even got half of the hand in Aria's mouth, she began retching. "Oh hell no. You're eating this, period."
"Aria..." Adagio mumbled as she laid on her side holding her stomach in a pile of puke and blood. She regretfully opened her eyes to see her sibling choking on half of a bloody and vomit-covered arm as she writhed in pain as Noah shoved it down her throat like a... certain activity done in bed.
Noah smirked as he dropped Aria. He stared down at his work with zero remorse as she twitched. The arm inside her looking like a disfigurement of some sort and the grimy red blood had already made another puddle around her. Her awfully red eyes even seemed to pop out a little as tears streamed out her eye socket like a waterfall.
"One down, two to go," Noah grumbled as she strolled over to Sonata who began to wake up. "Owie, what... what happened?" She groggily asked as she rubbed her head.
She glanced forward to see Noah standing directly in front of her like a horror movie monster. "What... what did you do?"
He grinned, "I dealt with her, what do you think I did?" Sonata grew as cold as the Arctic Ocean as she peered around Noah and saw Aria ravaged. She began to sob, "Aria! No! Why?! Why did you do that?!"
Noah grabbed Sonata by her ponytail and lifted her to eye length, she went limp like it was her weak spot. "You really think you're the victim here, don't you? What do you think this is you heartless whore? You took everything from so many families, and you have the nerve to fuckin' cry?!"
Noah slammed Sonata over his head and onto the stage. It created a small crater and Sonata wriggled in pain. "I'm gonna fix that," He whispered in her ear.
"Tell me, how many people do you think you’ve reduced to completely unlovable? How many people do you think you've reduced to simply unlivable? To live at all, they need to stay in bed. All. Day. Long."
Sonata didn't respond, Noah sneered, "Let me give you a taste, you bastard." Noah lowered his knee upon Sonata's ribcage, she wept. Indeed, they were gonna shatter, but that wasn't his goal.
"Imagine a world of darkness, but not the metaphorical way," he said as he dug his left hand into her left eye. Sonata screeched so loud that it even hurt Noah's ears, which he countered by covering it with his other hand.
He dug around her eye socket unrelentingly and pulled out her eye. She squealed, although indistinct, "I can't see in my eye!! Oh, God!! I'm sorry!! Stop it, please God!!"
Noah replied by clutching Sonata's left ear and pulling it off completely. Her screams only increased in pitch as she flailed around in unmistakable distress. She tried to lift Noah off of her, but he wouldn't budge for a moment.
"Oh wow, to be honest, this is making my black ass cringe. Oh well, what's next..." Noah observed the mess that was becoming a mutilated Sonata. He caught a glimpse over her feet, Perfect, he thought.
He pulled off her shoes and counted her toes. "Jesus Christ, this reminds me of those sociopathic serial killers. Guess now you'll know how your victims felt."
Noah gripped her left foot's toes and began ripping them off with a purpose. Sonata tried to kick Noah off of her again, but she still couldn't get him off. Not only that, but she would never even crave to move as three of her ribs had snapped.
With each tear, Sonata screamed in a higher pitch as her tears began to make a small puddle around her head. Her destroyed eye, though, had instead made a puddle within her eye socket.
With the final toe gone, Noah stood up, "Jesus. This is horrid in the long run but, I just can't seem to get rid of the image of my father in half, you know?"
Sonata reluctantly rolled onto her side and whimpered as blood and tears mixed and spilled from head to toe. "Just one more thing you sum-bitch," Noah mumbled as he grabbed her toes.
With unnecessary force, Noah shoved all of her toes down through her chest! Sonata struggled to even comprehend the violent feeling within as she blacked out, incredibly close to death.
Noah snickered as he crossed his arms, ”Heh.” Sonata couldn't move, she laid lifeless, completely out of energy. Noah spit on her, booted her in her stomach, somewhat annoyed that he couldn't hear her groan.
"Two down, one to go." Noah turned to Adagio as she laid, still debilitated in a puddle of her inside contents. "You know Adagio, the others were just getting what they deserved. It wasn't really satisfying, but only because it wasn't you."
"You're the head of this entire operation, you always were, and I hate you for it. I hate you with all my life force. For your sisters, I merely vented, but to get a point though, I really needed to hurt you."
Noah peeked over to the side of the stage and spotted a surprisingly sharp electric guitar. Perfect once again. He jogged over to it, picked it up, and returned to Adagio.
"You... m-monster... I'll... I'll." Noah stared her down as she struggled to stand up, but stood up regardless. "I'll make sure you pay in ways you can't comprehend!"
"The only monster here is you. Everything I've done in the past minutes means nothing to everything you've done-”
"We didn't h-have a choice! We're f-fucking Sirens! We need n-negative energy!"
"So you ruin my home? What part of the many outweigh the few don't you get?! If you three living meant taking the lives of nearly hundreds of billions, then it isn't up for debate on who has to go.”
Adagio stepped back, "So w-we just die?! T-That's it?!" Noah nodded, "That's exactly it. How do you think heroes do what they do? They do what is needed for the greater good. If that means taking their lives, than so-fuckin'-be it."
Noah gripped Adagio's pendant and raised the guitar. "N-No, wait! You d-don't have t-to do this!" Noah steadied Adagio and aimed for her chest. "I know, but I'm the will of Earth, motherfucker."
With nothing left to say, Noah plunged the electric guitar through Adagio. "Hope this doesn't break," He said as he pushed the guitar deeper and deeper while pulling her pendant.
Unlike her sisters, Adagio didn't scream, but she could only cry more and whimper in terrifying pain. Noah stared deep into her eyes, "I've waited so long for this. To put you in your place. To put all of you in your place. Its been a desired goal of mine ever since I saw you three on that roof."
Noah continued to push the guitar through Adagio until the entire neck was through her. He peeked behind her to see it covered in blood and flesh. "Damn, your ass is lucky. I didn't hit any vital organs. Aren't you happy?"
Noah let go of the guitar and let Adagio fall to her knees. He gripped her head and made her look him straight in the eyes. "This is for humanity you cunt. I hope you burn in hell until the end of time. Oh, what I'd do to see that."
“What... what are you?” Adagio questioned with her dying breath. Noah smiled, “I’m just a nappy headed nigga with the world behind him.”
Noah let go of Adagio's hair and stepped back. She collapsed on the body of the guitar and then rolled onto her side. Noah spat on her face as he looked at his marvelous work.
He smiled and exhaled as the largest burden on his back finally lifted. He had made the Sirens pay for their unforgivable crimes against humanity. Maybe his home will be better from now on. He hoped so with all his heart.
He then rose from the ground of the stage and flew towards the Rainbooms. But as he left, he could've sworn he heard the guitar scrape the ground, just a bit.
Noah touched the ground of the hill and was met with the most thunderstruck and disturbed group of girls he'd ever seen in his life. He shrugged, "What? Niggas paid for their crimes. Besides, it doesn't even match up to what they've done, so don't feel bad.
Sunset neared Noah and put a hand on his shoulder, "Noah... you... good Celestia, um... how long have you had these... itchings to do this?"
"Ever since I left that hospital. What, you think I'm fucked up in the head?" Sunset stepped back, "No! No, no, no, no, no-"
"Because I kinda am. That shit even disturbs me as I look at it, good lord. I can't believe I almost did that to you!" Noah replied, finishing with a genuine giggle.
"Wait... what?" He walked past her and approached the Rainbooms. "Alright, it's your turn. Finish 'em off or whatever niggas." The Rainbooms didn't reply and simply stared, petrified. Noah rolled his eyes.
"Noah, we're going to have a serious talk after this. Ya know that, right?" Applejack asked, and Noah crossed his arms. "Yeah, yeah, Old Town Road. Now finish them before they get the energy they-"
*Zoom!*
Noah was cut off by the sound of the result of one simple mistake. "Motherfucker! I knew I should've killed them!" Noah, Sunset, and the Rainbooms spun around to face the stage to find that the Sirens had finally become complete and were transforming.
Noah glared at his hands, he was infuriated. "Goddamn Sirens!!" Fluttershy held her head, "Oh no! Can we still defeat them?"
"Alright motherfuckers, this is it! Y'all need to start that counterspell right the hell now! But not just that, do you think you could lend the energy to me so I can get a direct shot?"
"What?!" The Rainbooms replied, simultaneously. "Giving you our power? What, are you out of your mind?!" Rainbow asked, confused. "Kinda, but if I use the power I have, we can't hit them dead on."
"How in the world did you squander your power torturing them?" Rarity asked, annoyed. "This power wasn't meant for that, I think, in a way, it's pissed at me or something. Or maybe it's just used specifically for situations like these. Unfortunately, harmony's a bitch."
Twilight groaned, "Okay, maybe we can do that but, they can hit us anytime! How are we supposed to-"
"Light 'em up, boys!" Shouted a voice from their left, a voice Noah recognized by heart. He turned to his left to discover his friends in Manex's truck fully armed and firing at the Sirens.
Strangely enough, it seemed to be working! They were distressed and disgruntled at the gunfire. Though it was doing no damage whatsoever, they were trying desperately to hit them.
"Well, we found our backup," Noah spoke up, he then turned at the Rainbooms with the most serious eyes they've ever seen from him. "Sing like your lives depend on it ladies, because today, it does!"
